Westport Schools Superintendent Elliott Landon gets no raise next year, as the Board of Education voted unanimously Monday night to maintain his total compensation—$292,937—at the current level.

Even so, Landon still remains the highest paid superintendent in Connecticut.

Last year Landon got a 1.75 percent bump up, though there was no raise the previous year, according to Elaine Whitney, school board chairwoman.

“As is our practice every year, the board conducted a careful review over the course of several executive sessions of the superintendent’s performance across a range of key dimensions,” Whitney said “We also benchmarked the superintendent’s compensation relative to our peer districts.”
